Missed Shots ( The Best Camera is one with You)


Chase Jarvis is Seattle based professional photographer whose style I really like.Not only is he a great photographer but he is a teacher,videographer and aps developer,and blogger.Chase has developed a ap for the apple I-phone that is called the best camera.The point being the best camera is the one that is with you.That lesson was not better proven to me than this morning.As I strive to take one decent photo a day I was confronted with one of the most stunning scenes that I have witnessed since I have been in the Arctic.The moon was still out and was full.There was enough light to make the scene as stunning as Ansel Adams`s Moonrise, Hernandez and as I was staring at this beauty laid out before me I realized I had no camera.This revelation has me thinking that indeed the best camera is the one with you.
Here is the link for Chase Jarvis blog and my pic of the day.

Climbing Mount Adams (spritualy)


It has been a while since I have have added to this blog.It has been to say the least a turbulent couple of weeks here.Many decisions being made and re-made.

I am at a cross road in my life.Caught between a life of security and a life of passion and fire that has been awaken in me.

Tonight I am watching an film on Ansel Adams.With out doubt my favorite photographer and most influential on me.

Ansel Adams in the beginning of his career even took pictures of grads and weddings to make a living while pursuing is art.I feel much the same.I want to have photography as a career but have much weight holding me back.Over the last weeks A decision has been reach.One more year then I can start my goal.We will see if the Passion is still awake by this time next year.

This is this weeks photo.A study in Black and White.
